SEAT FOR WINDOW-SILLS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 31, 1915.

Application filed July 27, 1914. Serial No. 853,403.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HARRY H. PAUL, a citizenof the United States of America, residing at W'ilkinsburg, in the countyof Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have mvented certain new anduseful Improvements in Seats for Vindow Sills, of which the following isa specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawmg.

This invention relates to seats for window sills and has for its objectto provide a device of such class, in a manner as hereinafter set forth,whereby the seat will be fixedly secured with the sill so that the seatwill project outward with respect to the sill.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a seat for window sillsincluding adjustable means, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, toprovide for the fixedly securing of the seat to the sills of windows ofdifferent widths and heights.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a seat for window sillswhich is simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable,efficient and convenient in its use, readily set up and comparativelyinexpensive to manufacture.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists of anovel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as hereinaftermore specifically described and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is tobe understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resortedto which come within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote correspondingparts throughout the several views :Figure 1 is an inverted plan View,broken away, of a window sill seat in accordance with this invention.Fig. 2 is a side elevation.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 1 denotes a longitudinalcylindrical member, constituting a support, and which is provided at itsouter end with peripheral threads as at 2, and at its inner end isformed with a downward extension 3, which is peripherally threaded as at4.

The reference character 5 denotes a platform, having dependinghorizontal flanges 6, 7, the former being of greater height than thelatter. The member 1 extends transversely with respect to the platform 5and centrally thereof, and further through the flanges 6, 7. Normallythe member 1 projects outwardly from the flange 7.

Secured to the lower face of the platform 5, near each end thereof, isthe upper arm 10 of a brace member and said arm 10 is disposed inparallelism with respect to the member 1 and furthermore is fixedlysecured to the lower face of the platform 5 by holdfast devices 11. Thearm 10 is of a length less than the width of the lower face of theplatform 5 and is disposed centrally with respect thereto and said arm10 at its forward terminus merges into a downwardly extending, inclinedarm 12, which at its lower end merges into a vertically disposed arm 13.

Adjustably connected to the arm 13, by a bolt 1e and a nut 15, is thevertical leg 16. of an angular abutment member. The horizontal leg ofsaid abutment member is indicated at 1.7.

Mounted upon the threaded outer end of the member 1 is an adjusting nut18.

The reference character 19 denotes an anchoring member formed with aninward extension Q-O, provided with a vertically disposed opening 21which has a threaded wall and adjustably engaging with said threadedwall is the thread extension 13. The anchoring member 19 engages underthe sill, within the room, and carries cushions on protecting devices 22which prevent the sill or the wall being injured. The flange 6 is alsoprovided with cushions or protecting devices 23 to prevent the marringof the window sill.

The nut 18 provides for the adjustable positioning of the platform 5upon the member l and in connection with the sill when the nut 18 isscrewed home, prevents shifting of the platform 5 upon the member 1.

The brace members constitute supports for the platform when the latteris secured to the sill.

hat I claim is 1. A window sill seat comprising a threaded supportingmember having a depending threaded extension, an anchoring member havingthreaded engagement with said extension, a platform adjustably mountedupon said member, an adjusting nut carried by the member and engagingthe platform and brace members secured to said platform and dependingtherefrom.

2. A window sill seat comprising a threaded supporting member having ade mounted upon said member, an adjusting nut carried by the member andengaging the platform, brace members secured to said platform anddepending therefrom, a vertically adjustable angle shaped member carriedby said brace members. 3. A window sill seat comprising a platformprovided with depending flanges, brace members secured to and dependingfrom the lower face of said platform, a longitudinally threaded memberextending through and projecting from said platform and having dependingthreaded extension, said brace members including Vertical arms,adjustable angle-shaped members carried by said vertical arms, anadjusting nut carried by said longitudinal member and engaging one ofsaid flanges, and an anchoring device having threaded engagement withsaid extens1on.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
